Overview
Are you looking to work alongside professional doctors and learn new medical skills and experiences in India? Do you ever dream of working with disadvantaged communities to improve healthcare in India? Sadly, India has millions of people living below the poverty line and for these poor segment of the population, healthcare services are not easily accessible. Moreover, they lack basic sanitation and health awareness, which causes many people to suffer from diseases and poor health throughout their lives. Though many health clinics have been set up in these poor areas and the slums to provide medical attention, there is lack of medical personals, infrastructure and medicines.
When you participate in this program, you will get to work alongside local doctors and healthcare professionals at various health clinics or hospitals in poor areas of Delhi or Gurgaon. You will shadow the local doctors, assist them and learn from them. You duties will be based on your experience and you will also help the medical staffs with hospital administration work and various other activities like looking after the patients, monitoring their condition, treating minor wounds and illness, and maintaining patient records. This volunteer opportunity will provide you with an amazing opportunity to gain a hands-on medical experience while providing much needed care to disadvantaged people without proper access to healthcare. You will help improve the health of the people and create much needed awareness in the community. You will also develop new skills, gain new perspective on healthcare and feel fulfilled helping others.
